Another very important point is power absolutely matters in OD especially this early on. Here is my theory as in why....plus 2 or 3 overall over your opponent is huge. Why? I will just point to one main stat that is crucial early on in this game. Speed! Speed kills. So if you make sure your power is high at 2000 you won't allow your opponents with already high overall teams with 85 speed receivers from burning your defenders by throwing bombs after bombs since their speed is now boosted to 88/89. Especially if you your team is already at an overall disadvantage. This advice is mainly for ftp players who can't afford max team. Focus on key defense positions like CB1 and both your safeties and get the highest overall guy with high power you can get (preferably 85 -88). Focus on 2 or 3 offensive players that are key to your offense depending on your play style ...RB, WR, TE and get the best player possible. Now the rest of the positions just fill it with cheaper gold 40 power guys and max train them. Get to 2000 power with a budget. Once you do that you can compete.....although tough...against whales if you have good skills.
